Agios Pavlos beach, Rhodes Island

The beach of Agios Pavlos (St. Paul), with crystal clear blue sea and fine golden sand is situated at the homonymous small cove, a few hundred meters southern to the acropolis of Lindos and some 50 kilometers far from the town of Rhodes at the South. According to tradition, it is at this small port that Apostle Paul set ashore in the year 58 A.D., when he came to preach Christianity on the island of Rhodes.

Being very close to Lindos, the facilities of the settlement for accommodation, food and drink, shopping and amusement are easily accessible.

Well organized, the beach is very nice, with golden sand and fine pebbles in spots. Facilities for swimming and sunbathing (sun beds, umbrellas etc.) are available to the swimmers, but the beach also offers natural “comforts”, as nice rocks above the sea, suitable for diving.

At the end of the beach, just before arriving to the rocks, almost hidden behind the tall trees in front, it is found the whitewashed tiny church of St. Paul, the Apostle who first preached Christianity on the island of Rhodes.

Health services, a Police Station and a Post Office are available in the village of Lindos.
